Utility updated April 30th. Now at .6 Thnx for the name for it.

Also if your system has the "Nvidia Container" that tries to netface as well from the loopback. Going AMD for GPUs for a while til Nvidia changes it's policy on turning their consumers into low hanging hackfruit. Google does it with android with most vendors defaulting to allowing guest accounts on peoples phones.

So liking my security online I have to say that I absolutely despise the Nvidia Webhelper. It opens a listen on your loopback that listens to the ENTIRE IP range. It seems to have direct access into the portions of Nvidia's software that govern GPU usage as well. Why would I want my GPU to be netfacing? It's absurd. For windows firewall from what I have found so far the dang thing disallows even partial loopback firewalling so it's, as far as I've managed to establish, like covering what could be a relative superman into a vat of liquid kryptonite for a swim. At least if you Linux you can probably nip that part of their software in the hind. IPTables frickin robust as a MF. At the very least they could constrain it to just listening from loo to the loo. That'd be 127.0.0.0/8. Yet noooo. Nvidia wants it to listen to ALL of the Things. Plus the installer gives it, at least in my case, an inbound allow on the windows firewall which I judiciously invert just post install.

Switched things around a little to fit in a k processor and z370 board. dropped down a GPU tier to do it, but decreased cost around ~$37 NZD

I or someone else on the forums, if they get to it first, most certainly can. I personally would be glad to spend the time doing so. Have found that the best things to do when you are going for your first build are to: ask questions if you need direction, and do the due diligence on the part research.

If you wanted to upgrade you could go with this for ~$426

Help me select components
Sernefarian replied to JuniperRising_YT's topic in New Builds and Planning
So this is just slightly over budget, but the RX580 performs pretty similarly to a 980, but does support freesync if you snag a freesync monitor. All new components. Motherboard is a 3+3 phase that looks like a 6+3 phase(if it had a different controller it could and possibly would be a 6 phase, but the controller it has tops it at 4 phase so they run it as a 3+3 phase), and it should be cool enough even if you overclock the 1600. the DDR4 is 3000 Mhz which your Ryzen will love. it's exactly $20.75 over budget at the current moment. -
For the monitor these cost less and have a higher refresh: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BV1XBEI/?tag=pcpapi-20

Made a few changes to the list. Switched case, SSD, Processor, RAM, and GPU. Should have higher performance and better cooling profile. There should be enough fan headers for the fans that come with the case and those that I selected. I am pretty sure they have the 3 included fans running on a splitter so the other fan can go on a case fan header. Suggest top mounting the other fan. And sticking the radiator for your H60 in the rear. Build is now under 2k NZD by $27.25
-
So this is my attempt at a list. Will overclock if you desire it, but you'll have to keep it modest. Monitor is freesync. If at some point you want to go RGB the case has a tempered glass side window.
-
Is overclocking a necessity or a bonus?
-
What resolution and refresh on monitor? Does the keyboard need to have a certain kind of switch for the keys, or is RGB a must? Any button count or DPI necessities on the mouse?

Aspiring builder with a few questions
Sernefarian replied to Koopa9's topic in New Builds and Planning
Worst case scenario with a fully functioning kit is that instead of the XMP just working you'll need to manually adjust timings and clock in order to get the vendor rated speeds. Might also be able to get yourself higher clock speeds than the vendor rated it for which would be a win. Just make sure you keep the timings tight enough to be worth the additional clock speed. One quicka nd dirty way of checking that is to take the clock speed and divide by the Cas Latency eg the first 14 from a list like this 14-14-14-34. That will give you a number you can use to make a rough comparison between different timings and clock speeds. What you want is for the dividend to be the largest number you can run in a stable configuration. Make sure to do some memory benchmarks as well to make sure your read write and access speeds are at least staying the same or going up, and keep an eye on your latnecy. If latency gets high enough having the higher clock speed just isn't worth it. -

At least one RAm vendor I know of keeps recent QVLs for consumer use. That company is G Skill, Corsair used to do so as well, but seems to have gone on hiatus with that since the launch of Intel's Z270 boards.
